I am curious if there is a corelation between those who have a devotion to the Divine Mercy with regular recitation of the Chaplet given to St. Faustina and those who participate in the extraordinary form (Traditional Latin Mass)?

The reason for my inquiry is that the Divine Mercy Chaplet was approved after Vatican II as was the ordinary form (Novus Ordo). Whereas the Divine Mercy Chaplet was not approved prior to Vatican II and the TLM was the norm.

For myself, I have a devotion to the Divine Mercy and I worship at a Novos Ordo Mass.

Thanks for your participation. 🙂

(I am interested to see whether more “traditionalists” have this devotion or post-Vatican II adherents do as a percentage of participants)
 
In the new 1962 Daily Missal by Baronius Press it has the Divine Mercy Chaplet Prayer in it.🙂
 
In the Old Calender there is no Feast of Divine Mercy, only “Low Sunday”. But I attend the TLM and have a devotion to the Divine Mercy
 
since this devotion is not tied to Mass and is not part of Mass I fail to see any relevance to this discussion.

What I would like to know is if traditionalist-minded Catholics who attend the Traditional Latin Mass, have this devotion as well.

I’d like to see to what extent, if any, traditionalist-minded Catholics have embraced this post-Vatican II devotion compared to those who attend the Novus Ordo. My intent is not to link the devotion itself to the Mass. I hope that clarifies what I am trying to determine.

Just to clarify further: The link I am trying to determine is if there is a corelation between those who favor the TLM (a pre-Vatican II Mass) and see to what extent they embrace the Divine Mercy devotion (a post-Vatican II devotion). I also want to see to what extent those who participate in the Novus Ordo and see to what extent they embrace the Divine Mercy devotion (both of which came post-Vatican II).

I go to a traditional Mass, and I love the Chaplet. It was one of the things that spurred me to conversion.

“For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”

It really brings home one of the central points of Christianity, i.e. atonement through Christ’s passion and suffering.

I also can’t stand when they make it lame by setting it to really trite “contemporary Christian” styled music. I like the solemn music, because it’s a solemn thing.
 
I attend OF because that is my only option; however my priest is very devoted to the Divine Mercy and has taught us to be also. I would love to be able to attend EF.

I shouldn’t have used the term, “lame,” because even with badly-written music, the Chaplet is certainly still wonderful, because it’s the words of the Savior.

I just love the way it is said on EWTN on afternoons.

"Eternal Father, I offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity, of your dearly beloved son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.

If you haven’t already, politely ask! If he says, “nobody wants it,” ask if you can hand out a questionnaire after Mass (make sure you do this at all the Sunday Masses if you do) and see if you can get enough people involved to reassure your priest! Of course, he still may not want to say it, but you can’t be faulted for trying.
 
I voted OF &DM, but only because I don’t have a car and the nearest EF is almost 8 miles away.
 
I have said all along that the titles like traditionals, etc. are meaningless as they have different meanings for different people. I for one consider myself traditional in that I follow Rome. I am totally orthodox in my beliefs and practices and I am on the official Cenacle for Divine Mercy for my Archdiocese as a spiritual moderator and I do pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily, often more than once. My mass preference is the Novus Ordo.

I am the Facilitator for our Divine Mercy Cenacle But my parrish is NO if I could attend the TLM I would.

An FSSP seminarian told me that there was a Mass proper for Divine Mercy from Poland which was for the EF (1940s-1950s). However. It was not extended to the whole Church. Perhaps now, one could find these texts get permission and have them used throughout the Church.
 
I have never seen this, but the one authorized by the Office of Liturgy and Worship in April 2000, is beautiful.

I understand what you are getting at, but I fear that your approach fails. Consider that you definition above would describe all people who are Catholic, regardless of their chosen or preferred method of worship. And yet, within that large group of people who can say that they follow Rome, we know that some do it using old forms and rites and others do it using the new. This is what traditional and traditionalist describe, and not simply anyone who is Catholic.

I have no doubt that you are an orthodox Catholic in every way, completely sincere in your faith and dedicated in your faithfulness to Rome. But, traditionalist should not I think be seen as a denial of faith and orthodoxy in those who are not generally seen as such, but rather as nothing more than a way to refer to those with an attachment or preference to traditional forms and rituals rather than the newer reformed methods. If we try to see it in another way we actually end up making the word completely meaningless and make it difficult to even discuss the very clear preferences and approaches of those who are in fact traditional in their worship. These people will not disappear or go away, but we will be unable to discuss them in any meaningful way.

This is how I see it at least.

I don’t see one related to the other. Some churches have novenas and devotions more than others. Some have slowly not had any perhaps due to lack of attendance.

But I’d not heard of the Divine Mercy Chaplet as a result of attending TLM - simply by seeing the pamphlet and discussions, such as on this forum. However, my priests do speak of devotion to Our Lord (I’m not sure if it was Divine Mercy or not) - just no chaplet devotion conducted, to my knowledge. I say it by myself sometimes in Church.
 
If you have not done so, get the diary of St Faustina. It is extremely gripping and edifying.

I read St. Faustina’s Diary and started the Divine Mercy Chaplet before I started going to TLM regularly. Her diary is a beautiful, beautiful book. 🙂
 
Isn’t all of Holy Week and Pascha–yea, every Eucharistic Sacrifice–a celebration of Divine Mercy?
